Arsenal officially announced today that it has signed a new long-term contract with the team's central defender Saliba. After completing the contract renewal, Saliba also accepted an interview with the club.
Talking about the mood when renewing the contract
Saliba: "I feel very proud because I signed the contract for the first time in 2019, and now I can continue this chapter in 2025. I feel extremely happy."
"This place makes me feel like home. We have an excellent team, an excellent lineup and a professional team. The coach is a perfect fit for me, and this is the most ideal destination."
"I cherish the time I wear this battle jersey every day. In the past, I gave everything, and now I will contribute more to the club and fans."
Talking about my feelings since joining
Saliba: "When you signed, you would like to participate in many games, but all this came so quickly. Before signing, I didn't expect that I could get so many opportunities to play. This is great, and I long for more."
"I returned to Saint-Etienne after signing, and became the starter after returning. I went through many twists and turns during this period, but I was proud of my growth path. Even in the difficult situation, I never gave up."
"Of course I wanted to play immediately, but I didn't expect the progress would be so smooth. We almost won the championship in the first season. The next year, I missed the league championship again. Now I am very happy, but not 100% satisfied. We must go further and win the trophy, which is the common goal of all the players and the club. "
"Our head coach is one of the best coaches in the world, and he and the team have given me great help. I am honored to be coached by him. Now at the age of 24, I have not reached my peak. There are too many aspects to improve and too many strength to dedicate to the team. I believe that with the help of the coaching team, I can become one of the world's top defenders and win the trophy with the team."
With the fans
Saliba: "I enjoyed it very much when I first heard the cheering song. Every time I heard these songs, I feel proud. Thank you for the fans. We have a special connection. Even if I failed to play for the team during my loan period, they will still send a message to encourage you: 'One day you will play for the club, don't give up'. I will never forget this."
"Thank you for everything you have done, thank you for your always-accompanied support. We know that the fans' expectations will be all. Work harder than in previous seasons to win the glory they long for."
